Nothing wrong with looking at other peoples designs and adding your own interpretation. Got to start somewhere to get to somewhere else. As long as you don't say it's all yours and deny the inspiration of where it came from. In my latest build I am taking up some LeFay and Sneaky inspiration.

Pete: You down on Friday? I'll have to find a reason to go to Lilydale Shopping Centre...

Oh, yes that makes sense. Pity I'd like to have caught up and can't make Sydney either, readdressing a whole buildings IP network on Saturday. 279 fixed device IP's that all have to know each others IP address. It's a hell of a table to get right.

I'll be at MSGM on Thursday night to finish off the shorty and work on the violin if you're going to be around.

Think Ivan will have his finished by the time my pickups turn up but I’ll find an excuse to come down when my 36” is close to completion. Probably should learn how to spray at some point

Magnetic battery cover is next on my list of trying to make my builds as easy and fun to use and play as possible. Which magnets do you use?
BTW, I would have gone deep with the rout (plenty of thickness in that body) and double size "just in case" - the void can always be filled with (lighter) foam .

Looks great, Ivan.

Thanks Michael. Yes, I tend to agree with you re the battery compartment depth. It's on the side of the body that has the forearm rollover on the other side so we kept the cavity quite shalow. But in hindsight a deeper cavity would be ok.....just in case.

Not totally sure about the magnets. I have a few different types I purchased from Officeworks but a couple of the guys at the workshop have suggested some rare earth magnet suppliers. So it's yet to be determined as to what will work best,
